TCP
3 way handshake
Establishes secure connection
What is UDP acronym
User datagram protocol
Define UDP
Comm. Protocol used for time sensitive transmissions on the internet
UDP cons
- ideal for speed over checking
- low latency, reduced processing overhead
- lacks error checking and recovery services
Connection less
UDP
Uses ports to direct date to the connect application
UDP
Stateless protocol;fire/forget
UDP
